In the return against Sparta for a place in the Second Division, the team of trainer Pascal Bosschaart, who was just interim trainer of the main force this season, managed to win 3-1 from the fellow townman at the castle, but that was insufficient for promotion after the earlier 3-0 home defeat on Varkenoord.
Promise team becomes a headache file for Feyenoord: new step in trip to Keuken Kampioen Division far away
Feyenoord went to rest with a 0-1 lead through a goal by Joey de Bie and saw Fabiano Rests the score up just after the break to 0-2 in favor of Jong Feyenoord. Ayoub Ouarghi quickly made 0-3 out of a rebound and with that both teams were right about two games. Jong Sparta and Jong Feyenoord is heading for an extension, until Dylan van Wageningen made the 1-3 just before time, as a result of which the castle club has maintained in the second division despite a sixteenth place in the regular competition.
Increasingly painful miss feyenoord
Feyenoord will now have to become a general promise champion again in the coming season to get a possible chance of promotion again. The champion also depends on the performance of the two young teams in the Second Division, Jong Almere City and Jong Sparta Rotterdam. If they end up with the first nine, then no promotion/relegation play-off will follow. And that in the knowledge that the promotion scheme from the Second Division to the Kitchen Champion Division does not make it easy to gain access to the second highest professional level.
In this way, the decision of the then technical director Martin van Geel is not to step into a young team, an increasingly painfully missed opportunity for the Rotterdammers.
